Many people like to play in teams online against AI, so hopefully they'll add the option to have a comparable AI experience to single player in a patch.
It wasn't the case in Civ IV.
But yeah, sadly it looks like currently the only role of the AI is to keep the seat warm till a human player takes it over, which is disappointing.

I can tell you, it was the case in Civ 4 vanilla. The AI never declared wars on each other. That was somewhat fixed in BtS though.
Its not like they don't do ANYTHING.. they do some.. but not (inter)active enough=boring and to easy=boring, defintely not the same as single player.haha i had a game like this last night...The AI doesn't seem to do ANYTHING in MP,....
I 'm playing a huge map, 12 civs in single player atm.... it's really ridiculous. By 100 AD Alexander still had his 1 capital city....
In my game the AI expanded, each AI had like 3 cities by Medieval age. Playing on Quick
You have to set random personalities on and they'll act like normal AI from single player. I Just had a game where washington declared war on me and my friend mid game with minutemen and took out my friend. ^^ No random personalities = place holder
But did they ever contact you and ask to trade and stuff?
If this is true, though, at least it makes MP games with AI somewhat playable until they better fix it with a patch. Thanks!
